Sources of OTH Problems


Issues Opening OTH Files

Apache OpenOffice is Not Installed

When you double-click your OTH file, you may see a dialog box from your operating system stating that it "Cannot Open This File Type". If this is the case, it's usually due to the fact that you do not have Apache OpenOffice for %%os%% installed on your computer. You won't be able to double-click to open your OTH because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.


Tip: Another OTH-related program can be selected to open the file by clicking "Show Apps" and finding the application.


Outdated Apache OpenOffice

Occasionally, you might have an outdated version of Apache OpenOffice installed that's incompatible with your OpenDocument HTML Template type. Installing the latest version of Apache OpenOffice from Apache Software Foundation is recommended. This issue mainly occurs when your OpenDocument HTML Template file was created by a newer version of Apache OpenOffice than you have on your PC.


Tip: Investigate your OTH file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening OTH files are due to having the wrong version of Apache OpenOffice installed.


Other Causes of OTH File Opening Problems

Even with the correct version of Apache OpenOffice installed, you can still experience difficulties opening OTHs. There can be other issues - unrelated to software - preventing you from opening OTH files. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Windows Registry OTH file paths that are incorrect
  • Unintentional removal of the description of the OTH file inside the Windows Registry
  • Invalid installation of a OTH-associated program (eg. Apache OpenOffice)
  • Your OTH can't be loaded properly (file corruption)
  • Your OTH has adversely impacted by malware
  • Drivers associated with OTH software need to be updated
  • Insufficient system resources to successfully open OpenDocument HTML Template files
